Why did Apple drop the Select All in I-Pad Pro Mail

This question is for Apple Support. I transferred a bunch of unwanted emails to trash. I used to be able to hit Select All to delete on I-Pad Pro but with the latest update the option to - Select All - is gone.

Apple -please put it back!

iPad Pro, iPadOS 16

Some mailbox folders don’t have a Select All button - however, there is an alternative…


From the mailbox sidebar, tap the Edit button at top-right of the Mail sidebar; simply swipe your finger down (or up) the left-side of the message list to bulk select Mail Messages. Swipe below the bottom edge to rapidly select all the visible email messages.


Once selected, tap the Delete button at the bottom of the sidebar.
